"The Schengen area has considerably enhanced freedom of movement for travellers, tourists and goods, to the point where road safety has become a European priority. In 2009, 1.5 million people were injured and 35 000 killed in road accidents. We need to coordinate our national efforts to prevent these human tragedies at all costs. Europeans will not understand if we do not take the necessary action to reduce road deaths. This is the very aim of the strategy that we have just adopted, which establishes a target of halving the number of people killed on our roads by 2020. In order to do that, we need to harmonise our national rules on traffic, signalling, technical vehicle checks and blood alcohol limits. Essentially, it is no longer acceptable that the majority of accidents are caused by a lack of courtesy at the wheel. The road must not be a place where the rules do not apply: only by respecting common rules will we be able to save lives."@en1
